1/7 Palantir’s manifesto is a terrifying glimpse into tech-authoritarianism.
They aren't just selling software, but dictating global morality.
Who do they think they are?
Who elected Alex Karp and Peter Thiel to run the world?
Europe should stay away from Palantir

2/7 The manifesto openly calls for an AI arms race.
Karp claims the atomic age is over and the new era of deterrence is built on AI weapons.
They argue adversaries will build them anyway so we must do it first.

3/7 Palantir demands a universal draft so everyone shares the risk of war, and calls to undo the pacifism of Germany and Japan.
Even if you agree, why does a tech company have a say?
A data broker shouldn't be rewriting global security and enforcing conscription

The belly fat you can't pinch is the fat that kills your health.
Visceral fat hides deep inside your abdomen, wraps around your organs and fuels insulin resistance and heart disease.
Here are 8 ways to burn visceral fat:🧵

1. Resistance train to build muscle
Muscle is your body's glucose sink.
The more lean muscle you carry, the more glucose gets pulled out of your blood without insulin.
A 2017 meta-analysis found resistance training burned more visceral fat than cardio alone.

2. Cut refined sugar and carbs.
They drive insulin resistance and visceral fat storage.
Every bag of chips, slice of white bread or sugary drink spikes insulin, shuttles excess glucose to your liver, and stores it as visceral fat.

I spoke with Zhang Chi, who spent the past year inside ByteDance Seed, the AI research division behind Doubao, China's most-used chatbot. His view, from the inside: the gap between Chinese and American AI iswidening. 🧵
Recent pieces have suggested Chinese AI is catching up and US export controls are a dud. Zhang, now a prof at Peking University, disagrees.
On iteration speed:
"Rumor has it that Google can do a full round of LLM training — both pre-training and post-training — in three months. One iteration every three months. But ByteDance, we can only do one iteration in half a year."
"I don't think any Chinese company can catch up soon."

Key Genetic Composition of South Indians
Neolithic farmers from Iran began mixing with local hunter-gatherers (AASI) ~10k to 7k years ago. This mixture formed the basis of the Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC), the dominant genetic component across all South Indians (55%–78%)

Ancient Ancestral South Indians (AASI): This is the truly indigenous lineage of South Asia, descended from hunter-gatherers who arrived roughly 50,000–70,000 years ago. It is most prominent in South Indian tribal groups (e.g., Paniya and Irula)

Neolithic farmers from the Zagros Mountains (modern-day Iran) migrated to the subcontinent and mixed with AASI to form the Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC). This component is the single largest genetic contributor to almost all South Indians, typically ranging from 55% to 78%

What is PVC?
Polyvinyl Chloride is a type of synthetic plastic material made from petroleum (crude oil) and salt (chlorine). It is widely used to make pipes, fittings, cables, and many everyday products

Key PVC Pipes:
uPVC remains volume backbone, with FY12–FY15 being largely uPVC-driven due to Agri +drainage usage
Now, CPVC is gaining share in premium plumbing, while PVC-O is emerging as the next growth driver, driven by infra demand for high-pressure water pipelines

Not all PTSD reflects the same neurobiological pattern.
Some presentations are predominantly hyperaroused. Others are predominantly dissociative.
This distinction has direct clinical implications:🧵👇
Some presentations are predominantly hyperaroused. Others are predominantly dissociative.
This distinction has direct clinical implications:🧵👇
Around 13–30% of individuals with PTSD meet criteria for the dissociative subtype.
So treating all PTSD as one neurobiological pattern risks clinical oversimplification.
This suggests that hyperaroused and dissociative PTSD may reflect different underlying regulatory patterns.
So treating all PTSD as one neurobiological pattern risks clinical oversimplification.
This suggests that hyperaroused and dissociative PTSD may reflect different underlying regulatory patterns.
Broadly, these presentations map onto 2 different patterns of corticolimbic regulation:
• hyperaroused PTSD → emotional undermodulation
• dissociative PTSD → emotional overmodulation
That difference helps explain why PTSD presentations can look very different.

• dissociative PTSD → emotional overmodulation

I just reread Adam Tooze's magisterial The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy, and the parallels with Russia's deteriorating wartime economy are striking.
By the late 1930s, Hitler's massive rearmament program consumed 20% of national income.

The result was a civilian sector starved of labor, materials, and capital.
Consumer goods production was squeezed, infrastructure lagged, and bottlenecks spread across the country.
Despite headline armaments growth, overall productivity was undermined.

This imbalance drove hidden deficits, liquidity strain, and chronic shortages.
With domestic consumption suppressed and foreign exchange limited, the German system became increasingly unstable.
This perversely supported the Nazi ideology of the necessity of conquest.

BREAKING: Claude can now act as your personal career coach.

The problem is never effort. It is strategy.
Here is how Claude fixes that with 10 prompts.
Prompt 1 — Build a resume that actually gets read
"Here is my current resume: [paste resume]. I am applying for [job title] roles at [type of
company]. Rewrite my resume to match the language hiring managers in this field actually
use, quantify every achievement possible, and make it pass ATS screening without keyword
stuffing."
Most resumes never reach a human eye.
They get filtered out by software in under 10 seconds.
This prompt makes sure yours gets through.

Prompt 2 — Tailor your resume for every single job
"Here is my master resume: [paste resume]. Here is the job description I am applying for:
[paste JD]. Identify the exact gaps between the two, rewrite the relevant sections to mirror
the language of this specific role, and tell me what to emphasize and what to remove."
Sending the same resume to every job is the single biggest mistake candidates make.
This prompt builds a targeted resume in under two minutes.
